Good. Good.

Vatniks who claimed GMD could not do ICBM defense are more BTFO than usual.

Get fucked.

>FTG-15 will also will be the first flight and intercept test of the new production CE-II Block-I version of the Exo-Atmospheric Kill Vehicle (EKV) and the first flight test of the upgraded C2 booster.

So since 2001 the US has been slowly plodding along in development. This is the first successful intercept in a long time.

Nah.

The US knew the GMD could do ICBM intercept, just like the US knew SM-3 could do anti sat work.

This test was more of a formality for them capabilities wise. It was purely political move meant to cow NK.

This is under more rigorous circumstances though.

It's really the first attempt in a good while.

Calling it the "first successful intercept in a long time" is horseshit because there have not been attempted intercepts in a long time.

God damn vatniks.

Daily reminder.
The US has broken MAD
You exist by the pure grace of mercy of the US

Oh boy, can't wait for an arms race with the Chinks

How can you race when one just mirrors the other with some delay and degradation to quality?

>>34111116
There was an attempted interception a few months ago but it didn't work out so well. This one actually worked out good, it'll be interesting to see what the future will hold

>A single missile

Good job most countries would launch more than a single missile in the event of a nuclear attack

Good thing we have more than one interceptor then isn't it.

That's pretty much how the first arms race went. it ended with the Farewell Dossier. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farewell_Dossier

Hopefully this new race goes the same way....

>Soviets makes new tech
>Soviets: Haha fat americans our technology is so good you can never copy it
>US: We can build it. We have the technology.
>US: do we have the money? Shit...

>US makes new tech
>US: Alright here is this new thing we built.
>Soviets: We must steal the plans for this for we cannot replicate it.
